De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA gaat gewone burgers ronselen die kunnen helpen met het lokaliseren van asteroïden. Met het toepassen van algoritmes hoopt ze een beter zicht te krijgen op ruimteobjecten die een bedreiging vormen voor de aarde, zo schrijft Time.
De wedstrijd 'Asteroid Data Hunter' is het eerste luik in de 'Grand Challenge' rond het lokaliseren van asteroïden die NASA in juni vorig jaar aankondigde. NASA biedt een beloning van 35.000 dollar aan burgerwetenschappers die kunnen helpen asteroïden te lokaliseren die een bedreiging vormen voor de aarde.
De deelnemers aan de wedstrijd gaan de strijd aan om een algoritme te creëren dat de beelden verbetert die telescopen vastleggen van asteroïden. Het winnende algoritme moet de detectiegevoeligheid vergroten, het aantal fout-positieven beperken, onvolmaaktheden in de gegevens negeren en efficiënt draaien op alle computersystemen.
Belangrijke inzichten De huidige systemen detecteren naar schatting slechts een procent van het totale aantal objecten dat rond de zon wentelt. NASA hoopt dat het toepassen van algoritmes en coderingen op haar 'Catalina Sky Survey'-dataset dat aantal fors zal opdrijven en belangrijke inzichten zal opleveren.
Wie zich geroepen voelt om hierbij te helpen, kan zich vanaf 17 maart inschrijven.
The number of UFO sightings reported in Canada during 2013 was 1,180. According to UFOlogy Research, this is the second highest number of sightings recorded in the past twenty five years.
The Winnipeg-based group compiles data to publish its annual Canadian UFO Survey. The 2013 survey, which was published on Monday, March 10, explains that 2013 was bested only by 2012, when approximately 2,000 UFO sightings were reported. UFOlogy Research director Chris Rutkowski suggests that 2012′s incredible spike in sightings was likely an anomaly due to the excitement surrounding 2012 and the Mayan Calendar, causing more people to report mundane lights in the sky as UFOs.
Based on the survey, more than forty percent of Canada’s 2013 UFO reports were in Ontario. And the typical sighting lasted approximately thirteen minutes. But more interestingly, based on the data, approximately fourteen percent of Canada’s 2013 UFO reports were classified as unexplained.
As the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation explains, although the Canadian government and its various federal agencies used to track and investigate UFOs, “it’s now up to civilian volunteers to report what’s going on up in the sky.”
Although Canada’s 2013 UFO reports reached a near-record high, the number pales in comparison to the number of UFO reports in the United States. According to the Mutual UFO Network, there were 6,457 U.S. UFO sighting reports filed in 2013.
Mummified mystery: New details on woman found dead in Pontiac garage
She last showed up to work in September 2008.
The next month, Pia Farrenkopf was given a traffic ticket in her hometown of Pontiac for not having proof of insurance, but she never appeared at a court hearing in January 2009, according to state records.
It was somewhere around that time, it’s believed, that Farrenkopf died.
But it wasn’t until Wednesday that a mummified body, thought to be Farrenkopf, was discovered by a contractor in the backseat of a Jeep parked in the garage of her foreclosed home.
Now investigators are trying to track down dental records that can be used to positively identify the body.
“The focus is going to be to identify,” Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. “There’s nothing that will allow us, at this point, to positively identify her.”
Bouchard did not release the woman’s name but records show Farrenkopf, who would be 49, lived at the ranch home on Savanna Drive in northwest Pontiac.
It’s unclear when the woman with family on the East Coast moved to Michigan, but Bouchard said he believed she came here for her job as a contractor with the now-defunct Chrysler Financial.
“She didn’t have children or a husband or a pet when she was here,” Bouchard said. “Preceding that, I don’t know.”
Investigators are looking into what she was doing immediately prior to her death and what caused her death, which may never be determined.
Her sister, who lives in the Boston area, has been contacted and is trying to assist investigators in identifying the body.
“They hadn’t communicated for years,” Bouchard said of the sisters’ relationship.
The Free Press was not able to reach any of the family members who knew her, but talked to a few people in Massachusetts who shared her last name. They said they have a big family spread out across the country.
An autopsy showed no trauma to the body, and the case is being investigated as an unknown death. Investigators are treating it like it could be a homicide, so potential evidence is not tainted.
“The biggest challenge is trying to forensically determine cause of death,” Bouchard said.
Officials said the woman’s bills were automatically deducted from her bank account, and residents of the quiet middle-class neighborhood said they didn’t notice anything amiss. Some thought she had moved out of the country after the recession hit.
Eventually, the $54,000 in her account ran out, and the house went into foreclosure, leading to this week’s gruesome discovery by a contractor the bank sent to check out the home.
Police said the body was clothed in a heavy winter coat and the skin had mummified. A key was in the Jeep’s ignition in the off position, police said.
Attorney Mark Johnson said that in 2003, he helped Farrenkopf incorporate a business called PIA77, but he didn’t recall any details about it.
“I never saw her after that,” Johnson said.
State records show that the address listed with the business match the address where the body was found.
Johnson said he tried to contact Farrenkopf to give her business documents, but he never heard back.
Additionally, court records obtained by the Free Press show that property on Highland Road in Waterford Township was leased to PIA77, doing business as Slender Lady, in September 2003.
It was a 60-month lease with payments that were to range from $1,300 to $1,625 a month. The landlord, Hicrest, sued in May 2005, saying PIA77 had broken the lease and seeking more than $101,000 in back rent and attorney fees, the records show.
The company was awarded those fees in a default judgment that year when PIA77 did not respond to the suit, and a garnishment was filed to get the money from a bank account, according to the documents. There is no indication whether that money was collected.
Attorney Adam Kutinsky represented Hicrest, but didn’t recall specifics of the lawsuit. “The case I handled was so long ago,” he said in an e-mail. “And the file was destroyed.”
Other creditors have come after Farrenkopf. Records show she had a 2005 state tax lien of $1,940 and a $3,308 civil judgment against her filed by Capitol One in 2008.
In 2012, years after the woman was believed to have died, she had a IRS federal tax lien of $28,086. – Freep
Florida Family Was Hospitalized After Eating LSD-Laced Steak Bought At Walmart
Four family members were hospitalized this week after eating LSD-laced meat purchased from Walmart, according to Florida police.
After consuming bottom round steak at dinner Monday evening, Ronnie Morales, 24, became seriously ill and was driven to a Tampa hospital by his girlfriend Jessica Rosado, who was nine months pregnant.
When the couple arrived at the hospital, Rosado, 31, “also became ill and was rushed across the street to St. Joseph’s Women’s Hospital where they induced labor,” according to a police statement. Shortly thereafter, Rosado’s two young daughters “started experiencing hallucinations and felt ill,” cops added.
Morales and the girls “received tracheal intubation and were hospitalized” until their release Wednesday, while “The mother and her healthy baby boy were released Thursday, March 6th,” police reported.
The family members suffered hallucinations, dizziness, rapid heart rates, and difficulty breathing, according to Tampa Police Chief Jane Castor, who said that there was “no indication” of any involvement on the part of Morales or Rosado in the meat tampering. Castor added that there was, “No criminal history with this family.”
After seizing “food items that the family consumed prior to falling ill,” investigators determined that they “consumed bottom round steak contaminated with LSD.” Walmart has turned over to police “all meat of that type that was on their shelves at that time” so that it can be tested.
Terming the matter an “isolated incident,” cops are now attempting to determine when and where the meat was contaminated with LSD. Castor said investigators were not aware of the concentration level of the hallucinogen, which is often sold in liquid form. – The Smoking Gun
Although authorities are baffled, the fact is that large aircraft cannot just disappear; or can they? Between black boxes, transponders, radar, debris fields, explosion and missile strike signatures, evidence is always left behind. The one explanation that hasn’t been mentioned by mainstream media is that the plane and its passengers were abducted by Extraterrestrials. This truth has a long history:
1. December of 1945, five bombers from Fort Lauderdale took off and disappeared in clear weather. A large Martin Mariner was sent up to find flight 19. They disappeared also. Six planes and twenty seven crew “vanished”.
2. In 1953 General Benjamin Chidlaw said, “We have stacks of flying saucer reports. We take them very seriously when you consider how many men and planes we have lost trying to intercept them”.
3. On November 23 1953, an F-89C Scorpion jet was scrambled from Kinross AFB to intercept a UFO. On radar, the 2 merge and the jet and its 4 member crew vanish.
The US military monitors everything using sonar, radar and satellites. I’m certain our satellites observed what really happened but that’s a truth that can’t be revealed.

Could the greatest inventions of the twentieth century and beyond potentially be the products of reverse engineered alien technology? Inside Hangar 1, MUFON files trace mankind’s technological boom to materials reportedly recovered from UFO crashes in the 1940s. MUFON investigates allegations of alien engineering, from the birth of the transistor in the 1950s, to military UFOs in the Middle East. Is our modern world built on a foundation of borrowed–or stolen–technology?
The mystery surrounding the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has captured the attention of a well-known “bomoh”, Ibrahim Mat Zin.
Ibrahim, who is known as Raja Bomoh Sedunia Nujum VIP, arrived at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) today, claiming to be invited by one of the country’s top leaders, to help locate the missing plane using a spiritual method and prayer.
“We use fish trap hook and a bamboo binoculars to look and ask for the victims to be found as soon as possible,” he said.
He was seen to have performed a prayer at the KLIA entrance.
“During my prayer, my eyes hurt and my vision turned black. I think the plane is still in the air or has crashed into the sea.
“I will come back here (to KLIA) in another two days after performing my prayers and I will bring something,” he said.
Ibrahim also called on all quarters to pray for the safety those on board the missing flight.
The Raja Bomoh, who has 50 years of experience, became popular after offering his service to search for victims in several major cases, including in the Highland Tower tragedy, Kuala Dipang flood and the Mona Fendy murder case. – Bernama, March 10, 2014
A former Navy serviceman reported an encounter with a ball of light mirroring his ship's course and speed during a multi-national naval exercise near the Hawaiian Islands, according to March 10, 2014, testimony in Case 54547 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
Photo Caption: The former serviceman reveals how a UFO followed his ship in August 2010. Image: RIMPAC 2010
The witness was in transit back to a San Diego home port from the RIMPAC multi-national naval exercises about 10:15 p.m. on August 4, 2010, when the events occurred.
“Course and speed was roughly 010 true @15 kits,” the witness stated. “I had just finished my watch in sonar control and went to the smoke deck on our starboard quarter (aka starboard break). I was not alone, however, I do not remember how many people or who was there that also witnessed the event.”
The witness described what he saw that night.
“I saw a medium-sized ball of light about 10 or 20 feet above water approximately 3 kyds away almost as soon as I got there. Initially I thought it was another ship that was also in transit and continued to observe it because, to my knowledge, we were alone in transit on our Pim. (Strike group commander set course and speed). It was mirroring our course and speed almost exactly with no discernible difference to our own for a period of about 15 minutes.”
The witness watched the light move.
“The ball then traveled very rapidly from a forward position relative to my ship to aft and then changed elevation and rose vertically nearly instantly to an elevation of about 200 feet or so from my perspective. It then appeared to mirror our course and speed from that elevation and follow us.”
The witness decided to report the event immediately.
“Startled and perplexed I put out my cigarette and went directly to the CIC (Combat Information Center) to report what I had seen to the CIC watch officer and radar operators. I told the CICWO my findings and was brushed off.”
But the conversation was overheard.
“I then went to the SPS-49 7 radar operator and he had apparently overheard my story. The petty officer on watch proceeded to show me that he had contact on the surface and air search radar that corresponded to what I had witnessed. He also told me that the same chain of events has been reported three other times by other individuals and had been occurring since our transit had begun two days prior.”
The witness is not sure if the events were officially logged.
“I do not recall if the incidents had been logged or not in the CIC watch contact log. I seem to recall being told by this petty officer that they were instructed to maintain contact and observe its movements, but don't bother logging it as it didn't appear hostile or of any interest. I was also told by him that the past two nights they had lost contact due to extreme elevation at about the same time each night. A few hours before dawn.”
The witness states that there were other reports of communications failure.
“Oddly enough during the actual RIMPAC (Rim of the Pacific Exercise) exercises, my ship, as well as every other ship in our strike group, experienced strange connectivity and communication issues. An investigation was launched by the strike group commander under the premise that there was a suspected probe initiated by the Chinese on our entire strike group. I later discovered that the commications and systems phenomenon the ships experienced had no explainable origin and no evidence of an attack from a foreign nation was detected.”
No images or videos were included with the report, which was filed on March 10, 2014. Hawaii has a current UFO Alert Rating of 5 with a low number of recent reports nationally. Hawaii had 2 UFO reports in February 2014 – the 39th highest reporting state – while California had 59 reports – the highest reporting state in the nation.
You can read more details about other recently reported cases at the UFO Examiner home page. The above quotes were edited for clarity. If Hawaii MUFON investigates and reports back on this case, I will post an update. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
It is a careful manipulation of the powers that control the UFO/alien subject to keep us off kilter and lost to the truth on things. If you watch and pay attention you will find a huge amount of TV shows produced to promote the idea of UFO's existing and suddenly a rash of shows in the mix presented as the intellectual approach to these subjects that in reality are insulting and laughable.
How ridiculous the highbrow tactic approach TV specials are that present a line of scientists all insisting they know how the universe was definitely made with an extreme arrogance that always makes me laugh out loud. How dare these so called men of science take on such arrogance while insulting anyone who may have a different view or opinion? It is obvious they have been put in place for the sole intention to debunk anyone who believes in the idea of UFO's or other life forms. Carefully watch each time a few logical truly informative shows appear that you will suddenly find at least one hosted by some self-loving ivory tower arrogant degreed academic who is all talk but completely lacking in any experience or research. I also find it funny that those who cannot figure out the science of the universe as our visitors obviously have demand it is impossible they exist. Seems to me someone has their panties in a twist that they cannot figure out what other life forms long ago conquered!
Of course there are a few great men of science who are open minded and try to find a path to all these unanswered questions and I applaud them and thank them however sadly they are in my mind far and few apart. We need many more of them and far less of the loud mouth obnoxious limited thinking and backward cowards who spend their time in last year’s thinking.
We also have a few excellent TV shows presenting some wonderful information who are trying to use their skills to uncover real answers. I take my hat off to them and only wish we could push a button to drop from the airways the other cut rate rank shows that only confuse the issues and clog the path to truth.
So there you have it. In my opinion we have been given disclosure by those who know and control our dealings with space. It is given out little by little by those who know for those who really want to know – yet, still we sit and wait. The lists of impressive experienced qualified men and women from across the world have come out and have given testimony and opinion that is extensive and clear that UFO's and aliens exist. UFO’s are real, I guess it is simply a case of being able to deal with that fact or not.
It is up to each one of us to sort out these issues with our own intelligence and hopefully a bit of concern and investigation. If you really are interested in these subject listen to Mr. Bigelow’s interview I am sure it still exists on the Coast to Coast site, Listen to the radio show You Tube of Randy Maegan’s and I discussing the interview found on my blog site. Do yourself a favor and do a search on Robert Bigelow. It may be an eye opener for you and change you opinions on many aspects of all these subjects.
For now keep looking up, you never know when it will be your turn to find you are the one looking into the cold darkness of the unknown. Find You Tube videos to this article on my blog-site
Imagine a winter’s morning with snow on the ground and thick ice on Scargo Lake in Dennis. The morning must have seemed silent and magical. Then, a mysterious object shoots across the sky and disappears behind a line of trees. This event happened on Jan. 7, 1971 when a strange metallic object was seen by two boys on their way to school.
Although the boys saw the bright orange object independent of the other, their stories checked out. The only minute detail separating their accounts was that one boy thought he saw “a small flame at the rear of the object whereas the second boy saw only the object.” (from an official NICAP probe). One boy ran to Scargo Lake and discovered a huge hole with steam rising out of it (the hole was reported to measure 25 by 100 feet). The other boy hurried on to school and told disbelieving teachers about his experience.
Over the next few days, police, newspaper reporters and the Air Force investigated the event. Residents also confirmed that there had been no hole in the ice the day before the glowing object was seen. According to the NICAP report, “there was no apparent way the hole could have been made literally overnight in subfreezing weather.” The temperature at the time of the object’s appearance was 22 degrees. Divers explored the area the following spring but nothing was ever discovered.
Almost a year later on Jan. 2, 1972, three Hyannis boys saw glowing lights over the athletic field at the Hyannis Middle School around 6:30 p.m. In a Cape Cod Times story, the boys described the lights as “belly-to-belly frisbees.” The boys, two brothers and a friend, watched the strange lights for five to ten minutes before the blobs started moving. Finally, the lights “headed northeast, going pretty fast but keeping together. That was the last time we saw them.” The boys told their skeptical mother about their experience and finally convinced her to investigate; however, nothing showed up at the Truro Air Force station, site of several big radar antennas.
After posting an entry last year on UFO sightings in the 1970’s, I received this comment:
“Back around the spring of ‘74, when I was a sophomore in high school, my dad and I were driving home from looking at a motorcycle one of his co-workers had for sale. Just after dusk along Route 1A in the Plainville area, I yelled out for my dad to pull over. To our right, about 200 yards over the sand and gravel pit, there was a large object with glowing orange lights hovering, a similar but much smaller craft lowered from the middle of the object and they both took off at a speed that was hard to believe … however, they made very little noise in doing so. I’ve spent a lifetime as a photojournalist … I’ve seen a lot in my years. I’m convinced if I had a camera with me that night, I may have some of the most compelling evidence ever of a UFO. The next morning I called the local police and they had no reports … to this day, I know what I saw.”
Over the years reports of UFO’s and other unidentified objects have surfaced. Fact or fantasy? I would love to hear your stories, ideas or comments. Cape history is full of mysterious and unexplained events.
(The original UFO stories were published in Jan. 2013)
(N.Morgan) An interesting question was posed in regards to whether to shoot down UFOs or not. I always assume the UFOs are our govt’s toys and some sort of weapon to be deployed against us at a later time, but there are those who believe these UFOs carry visitors from other planets and universes. Our history of dealing with other people who different from us hasn’t been a good one.
Hostile groups of aliens have been violating our sovereignty for decades. Human beings are abducted and experimented upon. Some of them never return. Is anything being done about this? As Earth’s strongest powers prepare to war against each other, the alien invasion continues to act with impunity. As far as they’re concerned, we are all the same. There is only one human family. From China to Micronesia, the threat of a hostile alien force can rally the human race to stand as a unified power. It must do so if we are to have any effectiveness in the greater community.
We are technologically behind. It will be a challenge to control our territory, but it will be a redeeming one. Earth’s greatest powers should come together and massively fund humanity’s leading minds. Imagine the possibilities. It would be the Manhattan Project of our generation. It would give pause to every hostile alien force in our midst. Our rapid technological advancement in but the last 100 years is proof that giant leaps of progress are possible. Technological parity may be out of our reach, but we can certainly muster up the strength to challenge them in our own backyard. Human freedom depends on it.
Should we shoot them down? All crafts that fail to respect our sovereignty over this planet should be fired upon. We will not be left alone until we make it clear that we are ready to fight for our freedom. A good analogy would be the Japanese dealings with European traders. As Marshall Vian Summers explained in his Project Camelot interview, the Japanese decried the influence these traders had on their people, so they burned every ship that entered their harbor. The Europeans eventually got the picture. Japan enjoyed centuries of sovereignty while neighboring countries were colonized one by one. The choice is obvious.
The truth is out there! Are UFO secrets in hacked X Files?
The truth is out there! Are UFO secrets in hacked ‘X Files’?
A UFO expert from the USA contacted the Welwyn Hatfield Times to say he believes aliens are working with the USGovernment in an underground base.
Mike Orrell, of San Diego, California, got in touch after readingWelwyn Hatfield Times chief reporter Paul Christian’s online story about UFOhacker Gary McKinnon’s mother, Janice Sharp, from Brookmans Park, writing a book about her battle to halt her son’s extradition.
Mr McKinnon hacked into computers owned by the Pentagon and NASA, and was looking for evidence of UFOs.
Mr Orrell, 56, made some pretty fanciful claims and said he would “sure like to see what Gary saw in those files”.
When asked what information he thought the two US departments might hold he said: “I heard reports that he saw evidence that the USGovernment had captured UFOs and was working with aliens in an underground base.”
He added: “It seems with the amount of sightings escalating around the world, that contact may be just around the corner.”
Mr Orrell said he was no stranger to unexplained phenomena, and sent us a snap of a group of UFOs, dubbed ‘The Inaja Formation’, which he snapped in San Diego, in 1990.
Whatever your view on UFOs, I am old enough to remember a certain TV show called The X Files, which had the tagline “the truth is out there”.
This technique would be applicable for generating genetic copies of invaluable strains of mice”
End QuoteResearch teamRiken BioResource Center, Tsukuba
The Japanese research group investigated whether circulating blood cells could also be used for cloning.
Their aim was to find an easily available source of donor cells to clone scientifically valuable strains of laboratory mice.
The team, led by Atsuo Ogura, of Riken BioResource Center in Tsukuba, took blood from the tail of a donor mouse, isolated the white blood cells, and used the nuclei for cloning experiments, using the same technique that produced Dolly the sheep in Edinburgh.
The process, known as somatic cell nuclear transfer, involves transferring the nucleus from an adult body cell - such as a blood or skin cell - into an unfertilised egg that has had its nucleus removed.
Reporting their findings in the US journal, Biology of Reproduction, the scientists said the study "demonstrated for the first time that mice could be cloned using the nuclei of peripheral blood cells".
'Invaluable strains'
They added: "These cells could be used for cloning immediately after collection and no donor animals need to be euthanised.
"This technique would be applicable for generating genetic copies of invaluable strains of mice, which cannot be preserved by other assisted reproductive techniques such as conventional in vitro fertilisation or intracytoplasmic sperm injection."
Scientists in Japan have years of experience in cloning mice.
A team at a linked institute recently revealed they had produced almost 600 mice from one donor mouse after 25 consecutive rounds of cloning.
The research is aimed at large-scale production of high-quality animals for farming or conservation purposes, they say.
Commenting on the study, Professor Robin Lovell-Badge of the MRC National Institute of Medical Research in London, said it was a useful small advance on previous work showing that it is possible to clone mice from a variety of adult cell types, including white blood cells.
He told BBC News: "The efficiency of cloning from these cell types was very good, suggesting that even a small drop of blood will contain sufficient numbers...this is helpful if the intention is to use cloning to propagate and expand numbers of rare or valuable types of individual or species."
The cloning method - somatic cell nuclear transfer
Clones of adult animals are produced by a method called somatic cell nuclear transfer, which refers to the transfer of the nucleus from a somatic cell into an egg cel
A somatic cell is any cell of the body apart from a germ (sex) cel
In cloning, the nucleus of a somatic cell is removed and inserted into a donor unfertilised egg that has had its own nucleus (containing the genetic material) remove
The embryo is then placed inside a surrogate mother.

Kunstenaar brengt Zonneschijf van Atlantis weer op aarde
“Kunstenaar brengt Zonneschijf van Atlantis weer op aarde”
Er zijn vele legendes bekend waarin de Zonneschijf figureert. De meest bekende stamt uit het Incarijk in Peru, waar in de Zonnetempel in Cuzco, de hoofdstad van het voormalige Incarijk, een schijf van puur goud zou hebben gehangen die diende als instrument om hoge energiefrequenties te ontvangen en die informatie in zich droeg over de oorsprong en bestemming van de mensheid.
Aan het einde van de zestiende eeuw werd de Zonneschijf volgens de legende afgezonken naar de bodem van het heilige Titicacameer, om te voorkomen dat de goudhongerige Spanjaarden de schijf in handen kregen. In 2010 kwam de Zonneschijf weer in de belangstelling, nadat verschillende indianenstammen uit de bergen bij het Titicacameer bijeenkwamen om in diverse ceremonies de Zonneschijf te eren met als doel ‘het bewustzijn van de Zonneschijf weer onder de aandacht van de mensheid te plaatsen’.
Volgens afstammelingen van de Inca’s is er een tijdperk aangebroken van hoger bewustzijn, waarin mensen elkaar als gelijken zullen gaan herkennen. De Zonneschijf zal weer een prominente plek op aarde innemen. De verdere activering van de schijf kan bijdragen aan de verspreiding van dit bewustzijn onder grotere groepen mensen, zo is de gedachte.
Beeldend kunstenaar Sebe Emmelot is gefascineerd door de Zonneschijf: “Al lezende kwam ik erachter dat dit stralende symbool dat ik in een meditatie had gezien een symbool van creatie, liefde en universeel bewustzijn is, ingebed in een eeuwenoude traditie.” Emmelot kreeg het beeld niet meer van zijn netvlies en besloot de Zonneschijf als fysiek object te fabriceren en te verspreiden. Inmiddels wordt de schijf de hele wereld overgedragen, mediteren mensen met het object en is er een verzoek om audiëntie naar de Paus gestuurd, omdat Emmelot het Vaticaan wil vullen met de hoogfrequente trilling van de Zonneschijf.
“Het is een eer om mezelf als beeldend kunstenaar in dienst te kunnen stellen van het verspreiden van de energie die verband houdt met dit symbool, de energie van liefde en verbinding,” legt Emmelot uit. “Vandaar ook dat we een verzoek tot audiëntie bij de Paus hebben ingediend.” Mensen die een Zonneschijf hebben besteld, mailen of bellen vaak met bijzondere verhalen, aldus de kunstenaar. Zo schreef Selma Sevenhuijsen over haar avonturen met de Zonneschijf, die ze meeneemt naar krachtplekken in Italië.
Albert Einstein kwam in de jaren dertig met een alternatief voor de oerknaltheorie. Hij stelde dat het universum gestaag en oneindig is uitgedijd en niet het gevolg is van een geweldige explosie uit een oeratoom. Een manuscript waarin hij de theorie heeft uitgewerkt werd tientallen jaren bewaard in de Hebreeuwse Universiteit van Jeruzalem, maar pas recentelijk ontdekt.
Het manuscript is naar verluidt geschreven tijdens een reis naar Californië in 1931. Einstein schreef over het ontstaan van het heelal: “Om de dichtheid constant te laten blijven moeten er continu nieuwe deeltjes worden gevormd.” Vele jaren keek niemand om naar het manuscript, hoewel het gewoon op internet beschikbaar was.
Historicus Simon Mitton van de Universiteit van Cambridge was geschokt toen hij besefte waar het manuscript over ging. Volgens Mitton laat Einstein zien dat de Britse astrofysicus Fred Hoyle, die 20 jaar later een soortgelijke theorie opstelde, niet zo radicaal was als altijd werd gedacht. “Deze vondst bevestigt dat Hoyle niet gek was.”
Hebreeuwse Universiteit van Jeruzalem, Israël
Hoyle beweerde dat de ruimte oneindig kon blijven uitdijen, waarbij deeltjes uit het niets in de ruimte werden gevormd. Zijn theorie werd uiteindelijk verworpen, maar wellicht hadden meer mensen hem serieus genomen als ze hadden geweten dat Einstein al met hetzelfde idee speelde. Onderzoekers zagen het manuscript van Einstein als een kladje naar aanleiding van een nieuw idee waar hij al snel geen aandacht meer schonk.
Hoewel Einstein de theorie verder niet heeft uitgewerkt, laat het manuscript zien dat hij niet volledig was overtuigd van de Big Bang. “Wat het [manuscript] laat zien is dat Einstein, alhoewel hij de uitdijing van de ruimte accepteerde, niet blij was met een universum dat door de tijd heen verandert,” zei historicus Helge Kragh van de Universiteit van Aarhus in Denemarken.
Valentina Flores was bringing in her llamas when she discovered that her sheep pen was covered with a net made of some plastic like material, and that inside the pen was a helmeted being, 3.5 ft tall, who was engaged in the killing of her sheep by a tubular instrument having a hook on the end of it. Mrs Flores threw stones at the being, whereupon he walked over to an instrument resembling a radio and, moving a wheel on it, quickly absorbed all the netting. The farm woman approached the pen with a cudgel, upon which the being threw his instrument at her several times; it returned to him like a boomerang, after inflicting superficial cuts on her arms. The entity picked up the machine, which had absorbed the net, as well as a bag containing sheep entrails, and put them into a rucksack on his back. Two legs emerged from the rucksack and extended down to the ground, at which time the entity rose straight up into the air with an “extraordinary” sound, and vanished. 34 sheep were found dead and from every one, “certain small portions of the digestive organs were missing.”

A man by the name of Lucio Huamanñahui a native of Apurimac was walking a long a path in a field when he encounter a tall humanoid creature, at least 2meters in height, wearing a long white flowing robe. He held one hand on one thigh and the other behind him. The tall man-like figure had long blond hair and stared intently at Lucio, who attempted to avert its gaze, by lowering his head. He remembers the entity, which he attributed as being God himself, telling him “Man’s perversity knows no bounds, I will forge peace on Earth”. Moments later strange the strange “God-like figure” vanished and Lucio continued on with his journey, he then looked up and saw the figure disappearing into the clouds and vanishing towards the nearby city of Pisco. According to Lucio on August 15 the earth trembled near Ica and he prayed for mercy, moments later the trembling subsided. He is convinced that the city of Ica was saved by “God”.
Location. Near Huffman, Texas Date: December 29 1980
Time: evening
Three occupants of a 1980 Olds Cutlass, Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum and Vickie’s seven year old grandson, Colby, were on their way home through the southern tip of the east Texas piney woods when they noticed a large light above the trees some distance ahead. The light was briefly lost from view, but they saw it again when after rounding a curve they found themselves on a straight stretch of a two lane road on Highway FM 1485.
This time it was approaching them, floating above the road at less than treetop height and belching flames from its bottom. Cash and the Landrums were only about 130 feet from the object. Escape was out of the question because the road was narrow and the shoulders soggy. If Betty Cash, who was driving, tried to turn around, she knew the car would get stuck. There was no other traffic on the desolate highway, so she stepped outside, as did the elder Landrum. But Colby’s frantic screams brought her back into the car. The object, intensely bright and dull metallic silver in color, was shaped like a huge, upright diamond, with its top and bottom cut off so that they were flat rather than pointed. Small blue lights ringed the center, and periodically over the next five minutes flames shot out of the bottom, flaring outward to create a cone affect. All the while the witnesses felt their faces burning. The car was too hot to touch. At one point Vickie Landrum, leaning out the front window, steadied herself by putting her hands on the dashboard, only to find it molded to the shape of her fingers.
A few minutes later, when Cash tried to get back into the car, the door handle burned her fingers. With a final blast of fire and heat, the UFO ascended slowly into the sky. But just as it was clearing the treetops, helicopters flew in from all directions. The helicopters and the UFO then were lost from view. The three resumed their journey. Five minutes later they arrived at the intersection of FM 1485 and FM 2100 where they saw the UFO and the helicopters again. Cash counted 23 helicopters, all clearly visible because of the light from the diamond-shaped object was reflecting off them. Many of the aircraft were subsequently identified as large, double-rotor Boeing CH-47 Chinooks, used by the Army and Marines. The whole incident lasted a total of 20 minutes.
Soon Betty Cash became extremely ill with large knots forming on her neck and scalp that soon became blisters. Her skin reddened and her eyes swelled. She vomited and experienced severe diarrhea. The Landrums suffered similar distress, but not quite as intense. In the morning Cash had lapse into near unconsciousness. She was eventually taken to the hospital in January 3 1981; she could not walk and had lost large patches of skin and clumps of hair. She was released after 12 days, but had to return to the hospital for another 15 days. A doctor who examined the patients reported strong evidence of damage as a result of ionizing radiation with the possibility of infrared or ultraviolet component as well.
Betty Cash never fully recovered and suffered for years to come and in an ironic twist of fate she died on the anniversary of the bizarre encounter in December 29 1999, some say as a result of the initial encounter 19 years before.

Visitors in our bedrooms:
Location: Bethel Connecticut Date: late April 1984
Time: 02:45 a.m. The witness went to be feeling very tired, he felt as if he had just taken a sleeping pill. He fell asleep in a matter of minutes. Soon he woke up with a jump and heard a buzzing sound in the room.
Without warning the wall on the north side of the bedroom started to glow with a very faint, dull yellow glow. He sat up in bed. Then a being walked right through the wall, as if the wall had turned to liquid or something. The being was about 5 ft tall, and white in color. He had a large head and round, black eyes. He was in a black skin-tight diving suit, and his arms were longer than someone his size. He had no ears and a very small mouth with very thin lips. He walked over to the bed and started talking to the witness, not in audible way but apparently telepathically. The being told the witness not to be afraid that he came in peace, that he had to show him something that he had to learn. The witness felt no fear as the being radiated peace and goodwill. The witness got up from bed and followed the humanoid; they walked right through the wall. Then they were in a small dark room that the humanoid told the witness it was a vessel that could travel through space and time. Then all of the sudden they were in a lighted corridor without an obvious source of lighting. The humanoid stopped and then they were in a large room with tables. The witness saw a man and a woman on a table. The witness thought he knew who they were. The woman, who had long black hair, turn to the witness and smiled telling him that they were fine that they were being helped by the aliens. The humanoid then told the witness that they had the ability to travel in the closer dimensional windows to the planet earth. The witness noticed a number of tall men working around the tables. They were wearing lab coats and looked human. The humanoid left as one of the tall men came over and greeted the witness. He spoke in English and had black hair and very round dark eyes. He was not quite human. He told the witness that he was a hybrid between the human race and the humanoids. The other men in the room ignored him and continued to go about their business. The hybrid always spoke in an unemotional voice, and his face was always straight, like a poker face. He spoke in a monotone. He was shown a metallic table with a number of instruments that resembled medical monitors. Later he was shown a hybrid baby on the table with a number of tubes attached to him. He had human features, but not quite, his skin was of dark clay color and the head and eyes were very large. He was covered in a clear, skin-like membrane. The man told the witness that the baby was part of the new generation of hybrid beings. But some type of virus seemed to be killing them. He was told that there were other powerful forces in the universe determined to kill off the humanoids and all their offspring.
All of the sudden the original humanoid was standing next to the witness and told him that it was time to go home. He was brought back to the dark elevator like room. He then found himself awake on his bed. He was suffering from a very bad headache.

Of all the reports of UFO sightings, some of the most intriguing ones are those which come in flaps, or waves, have multiple witnesses, and photographs. One of the most celebrated cases of this type was the Belgian flap which began in November of 1989. The events of November 29 would be documented by no less than thirty different groups of witnesses, and three separate groups of police officers. All of the reports described a large object flying at low altitude. The craft was of a flat, triangular shape, with lights underneath. This giant craft made not a sound as it slowly and fearlessly moved across the landscape of Belgium. There was free sharing of information as the Belgian populace tracked this craft as it moved from the town of Liege to the border of the Netherlands and Germany. This first startling sighting would evolve into a wave over the next several months. On two occasions, a pair of F-16 fighters chased the mysterious object, but to no avail. On March 30, 1990, a frantic call to military headquarters came from a Belgian national police Captain. He marvelled at a giant triangle passing over and simultaneously two ground radar stations were reporting an object of unknown origin on their screens. One of these bases was NATO controlled near the city of Glons, southeast of Brussels. After contacting other radar facilities, they learned that at least four other stations were also reporting the object on their screens. The object was moving across their screens slowly, and failed to send a transponder signal to identify itself. Two F-16s were ordered to intercept and identify this phenomenon, and one of the jet’s radars locked the object in. It appeared as a small diamond on the pilot’s screen. The pilot reported that only a few seconds after locking on the target, the object began to pick up speed, quickly moving out of radar range. An hour long chase ensued, during which time the F-16s picked up the strange craft’s signal two additional times, only to see it fade from view. The triangular craft seemed to be playing a cat and mouse game, and finally was lost in the night lights of Brussels. The pilots of the fighters reported that the UFO had made manoeuvres at speeds beyond the capability of their technology, and once the radar showed the craft drop from 10,000 to 500 feet in 5 seconds! The extraordinary sightings continued for months as the triangular invader was witnessed more than 1,000 times, both day and night. The object dipped low enough to easily be seen with the naked eye, and the event became one of the biggest stories in the Belgian media. Another unusual occurrence associated with the Belgian flap was the inability to take a clear photograph of it. Many observers had their cameras ready, and took what they thought would be clear images, but when the film was developed, the image was blurred, and the craft’s outline was vague at best. This anomaly was addressed by physics professor Auguste Meessen, who was employed by the Catholic University at Louvin. Meessen’s investigation produced a theory that infrared light must be the reason that almost all the images were unclear. To put his theory to test, he exposed film to infrared, then photographed objects in regular light. The results were the same as the photographs of the triangle-shaped UFO. One good image was finally captured on video tape in April 1990. This image showed the underbelly of the craft with spotlights on the three corners. A still frame from this tape has been seen worldwide, and is a classic UFO photograph. The Belgium wave has obtained classic status in UFO lore. With over 1,000 witnesses, confirmed radar sightings, plane radar lock-ins, and military confirmations, the fact that an unknown craft moved across the country of Belgium cannot be denied. The case is also important for its unique information sharing. Civilian and Military officials were forthcoming with the reports, and set a model for others to follow in their pursuit to uncover the mystery behind the UFO enigma.
New Mothman Sighting in Colorado Was He Smoking A Spliff?
New Mothman Sighting in Colorado – Was He Smoking A Spliff?
(Before It's News)
From Cryptozoologynews.com
GREELEY, Colo. — A strange creature sighting has a Colorado family worried there could be more of it to come.
K. Brown, 73, was helping his son clean the attic Saturday when a strange happening allegedly took place.
“I had just climbed up in the attic, my son was on top of the ladder in the garage watching me through the door, when I saw a big thing moving around. At first I thought it was a big rat, but that was no rat,” he told CN.
The man claims a long, tall, dark figure moved in front of him as he stepped into the darkness. “Yeah, it was dark, I know, but I had a flashlight with me. I heard a sound, similar to chattering teeth around me, and steps, they certainly sounded like human steps to me. As I point the light at it, I call my son to hurry and come in to see for himself,” he said.
When Brown’s son purportedly rushed through the attic’s door, he didn’t know what to expect.
“I thought he was joking,” explains the 42-year-old landscaper. “I imagined he was playing with me, pulling my leg you know? The thing is when I came inside and saw that thing standing there, well, I thought it was one of those halloween dolls hanging in there. I told my dad to stop playing and help me clean the place but that thing moved on its own…it was crawling like a baby, then it tried to stand up and as it touched the ceiling, it ran through the wall and disappeared. We noticed a big hole on the wall that wasn’t there before, but there is no exit to the outside. There is a portion of the wall that’s shallow.”
The two men agreed the creature was about 7-feet long, thin and with smooth dark skin.
“Well I mean it was crouched down, but we estimated it was about 7-ft long. I saw some sort of arms and hands, both very long, and the hands had tons of fingers and claws. Reminded me of that movie with the Mothman…” the younger man said. “When my dad pointed the light on its face, it started moving its mouth, which was tiny, with little teeth like a piranha, and ran away. I noticed the eyes were completely dark and had no pupil or nothing. Pitch black, maybe because the light was hurting it.”
The creature reportedly emitted a high pitched sound before fleeing. The men claim they looked inside the hole “but there wasn’t anything to be found in there.”
“It was like a short tunnel, and it went down the house. I don’t know any bird or raccoons that make tunnels like that on thick walls. We haven’t heard anything there anymore, but we are kind of concerned it’d come back,” said the home owner.
They say there wasn’t any evidence left at the scene, such as food leftovers or droppings.
Owls are usually misidentified and produce similar sounds.
One of the strangest things happened to sixty-seven year Wally Hanson, a retired police officer from Albany, New York. While visiting his dentist for a yearly check-up, a mystifying metallic object was discovered in his tooth. According to Mr. Hanson, he has no idea how the mysterious implant arrived and his dentist, Dr. Fred Wallington, said that Hanson’s X-ray a year ago, came up clean. There were no scares, rips, or tears, suggesting that the device was implanted; it just appeared there.
Mr. Hanson immediately contacted the FBI, who was interested in its findings. He was then flown into Washington DC to undergo extensive tests. The FBI’s forensic medical investigations concluded that the object in Hanson’s mouth was a transmitter of sorts and that it was not only transmitting frequency signals, but also receiving them. No one, at this point, knows what these frequencies are transmitting.
It was reported by Dr. Bernard of the FBI, that Mr. Hanson doesn’t seem to be effect by the device. The National Reporter interview the agent and here is what they found…
The National Reporter – How often does the implant send out signals?
“We’re not sure, but it seems to be at least four times a day. They are very short and easy to miss, so there may be more. Some of them only last for a hundredth of a second, but despite the short transmission time, there is a lot of information being exchanged.”
The National Reporter - Do you have any idea who or what put the implant in Mr. Hanson’s tooth?
“Not yet, but it can be anything from some kind of marketing device placed in there by a corporation or a foreign government using it to spy on us. And we aren’t counting out extra terrestrial’s either.”
The National Reporter- Do you have any idea’s what the signals are saying?
“They are in some kind of code, but it isn’t the usual binary code. This is weird, it’s in some sort of quad code. So far we haven’t been able to make heads or tails out of it.”
The National Reporter – Have you tried to remove it?
“Yes, and when we did the implant immediately lost power and shut down. Apparently it is rigged to disable itself if the tooth is removed, so we have to study it while it is in Mr. Hanson’s mouth.” >>Read More
No code has been deciphered as of yet and at this point we are left to believe it very well could be alien in nature….
This may sound a little far fetched and some will shout photoshot, but that is not the answer to every photo out there. Either way, I’ll leave that up to you to decide…
